Nova Scotia proposes through its Legisla-
ture to inaugurate a plan of settling lis
putes between employers and employed by
arbitration. The experiment is to be tried
in the coal mines, where strikes heretofore
have been frequent and disastrous. A bill
before the Legislature which is likely to be
passed provides that whenever any dispute
shall arise between the employer and en-
ployed Of mines in regard to wages, mode of
working, or any other matter, the employer
shall not dismiss or lock out the employed,
nor shall the employed strike or abandon
work, without first laying complaint in
writing before the commissioner of works
and mines. The commissioner after investi-
cation may at his discretion submit the sub
ject matter in dispute to board Of arbitra-
ton to be composed Of three persons to be
appointed by the goyernor-in-council, to hold
Office during pleasure, and two persons to be
appointed as occasion may require, one by
each OF the parties to the matter in contro-
versy. The judgment of this board is to
have the same force as judgment of the Su-
preme Court, and to make it still more effec-
tive 1t is provided that it shall operate as an
attachment on the whole mining property,
after payment of royalties, if the award
should be against the employer; and shall
bind certain amount equal to fourteen days
wages, which the act provides shall be re-
served and kept from the employees. to meet
any such contingencies, in case Judgment
should go against the employees. This bill
makes a resort to arbitration compulso-
~, and therein differs from the arbitra-
on acts which have been passed by
several States of the American Union.

eral rule. He is not nervous or peculiarly
sensitive man; it is safe to say that he has
been less affected by the perplexities of his
Office than any President the country has
had for many years. The complaint and
criticisms of his own party have worried
him but little 1t is not probable, therefore,
that the duties and yexations of the office
have made him sick of it. and anxious to be
released.
The circulation Of these stories Of intend
ed declination is much more consistent
with desire to become a candidate again
than with a wish to step down and out.
Did he really desire the latter there is very
simple way to make it known. half dozen
words from him would settle it. But the
opposite wish is a more delicate matter to
deal with. A man that doesn't want to be
candidate can say so in plain English. But
a man who does must be diplomatic. He
has got to find out first whether his party
wants him, and there is no more effeetual
way to find out that fact than by allowing it
to be intimated that he does not intend to be
q candidate. This is the process which Mr.
Cleyeland's friends have resorted to. They
want to see how much the Democratic press
win cry for him; how many of the Demo-
cratic leaders look upon him as the only
man that can prevent the party from
drifting back into the wilderness where they
wandered despairingly so many years; how
big is his boom in comparison with that Of
Gov Hill and the other lesser lights who as
pire to step into his shoes. When these
things are ascertainad, and they prove to be
as his friends hope, the country will proba-
bly, be informed that Mr.. Cleveland will
once more sacrifice himself ON the altar of
his country, and will magnanimously refuse
to imperil the future of the Democratic par
ty by selfshly adhering to his own personal
wishes in this matter. The Democratic par
ty can have Cleveland for its next candidate
if it wants him.

Some of the Congressman who.are respon-
sible for the presence of the Interstate CON-
merce act on the statute books are giving
novel excuses for the condition into which
they put the whole business of the country,
They say that the roads are being squeezed,
but they frankly admit that they are expert
menting with the question, and that they
think the roads can afford to stand the
squeezing until Congress learns the railroad
business. From experience the result of this
is that the roads must go to good deal of
expense in educating country lawyers in the
management of railroads every two years.

The President and a denomination.

What the purpose is Of putting out these
stories in relation to the Presidents attitude
on the question Of second term it is some
what difficult to say. They may have their
origin largely in the exuberant imagination
Of newspaper reporter anxious to "beat"
his contemporaries and advertise his journal.
1t IS more probable, however, that desire
to get at the sentiment of the Democratic
party In regard to Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
ton Is at the bottom of them. 1t is well
known fact that considerable part of that
party has been much displeased at the Presi-
dents Difference to the Mugwumps and his
comparative indifference to the Jacksonians
How deep and widespread that feeling il a
discussion Of the subject of his denomination
is calculated to discover. 1t is rarely that
man gets enough Of the Presidential Office.
He may be perplexed, and at times he may
wish he had never been elected to it, and
may VOW that he will get out Of it as soon as
possible, but after all, the attractions of the
Office more than balance the disagreeable
features and when nomination day comes
round the President of four years is gener-
ally found to be willing to become the Presi-
dent Of eight years. Mr.. Cleveland's case is
not likely to prove an exception to he gen.

Mr.. Bayard seems to be harboring drudge
against New England because it compelled
him to give up his pet scheme of joint COM
mission to settle the fishery dispute. He
seems to have conceived the idea that
the matter was private affair be-
tween the British minister and him
self which they ought to have been
allowed to settle in their own way, and that
the interference Of the Senate at the instiga-
ton Of New England was impertinent.

The Toronto Globe appears to have worked
itself up into terrible frenzy over the al
leged offer of Lord Salisbury in regard to the
fisheries. 1t thinks that anything the Unit
ed States asks will be granted by the
pusillanimous government of Great Brit
ain. 1t accuses Lord Salisbury of practical
ly conceding shat American claims are
the measure of American rights" 1t charges
that the Home government and the cabinet
Of Sir John Mcdonald have conspired to-
gether to despoil the Canadians of their
property and their rights. and wants to know
why the people Of the Dominion were not
given at the recent election chance to ex-
press their opinion on the surrender of their
fisheries. In fine outburst of indignation it
exclaims, MAINE was ours, Oregon was
ours, San Juan was ours, the fisheries were
ours. All are gone. The foundation Of a
Canadian nation has been given away
piecemeal. Where is the process to ends"
The Indignation Of the Globe at the making
of the proposition is about as violent as that
of the American fishermen would be at its
acceptance.

The Maine Farmer declares that the Au-
gusta city council will vote unanimously
against establishing liquor agency. tits
very much to be doubted if such action as
that will be in the interest of prohibition.
Alcohol is indispensable for certain mechan-
cal purposes, and certain kinds of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS are recognized by the medical
profession as exceedingly useful, if not indis-
pensable, in certain diseases. There ought
to be in city the size of Augusta place
where liquor may lawfully be purchased for
these purposes. The result of having no
such place viii be to tempt people to solicit
apothecaries to violate the law. The princi-
pal argument against an agency seems to be
that it is deemed impossible to get anybody
to run it according to law. But it cannot be
possible that the city of Augusta is so lack
ing in men of decency and self respect.

The settlers on the Winnebago reservation
who are now being removed by the United
States troops were warned some time ago to
leave, but paid no attention to the warning.
The lands they are occupying undoubtedly
belong to the Indians and they have no legal
right to be there. They got on to them by
misrepresentation, though the actual settlers
may not be responsible for it, The case is
hard one for the settlers who have spent
good deal Of money in preparing the lands
and have just put IN the seed for the years
crop. Nevertheless they are on land owned
by somebody else and to allow them to re-
main in spite Of the protest of the lawful
owners is out of the question.
